What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, SKG has not accelerated revenue sharply, but profitability is improving visibly — the growth momentum has held across consecutive periods. Profit growth is driven mainly by better operations rather than scale expansion — a foundation that tends to be more durable.

What is driving the margin?

Net margin expanded to 13.07%, rising 5.4pp. The main driver is Gross margin rose 6.0pp and SG&A / Revenue fell 0.7pp, moving in line with the stronger net margin (with lingering pressure from Other profit / Revenue fell 0.2pp and Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.2pp).

The improvement comes from core operations — this is a high-quality margin expansion.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency should be read in industry context — ROIC may fluctuate with business specifics.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

Track how much operating profit the business generates on invested capital.

Industry characteristics make ROIC cyclical — this is a reference signal and should be read with the business context.

Balance Sheet

ROIC above should be read with industry context — the balance sheet below adds perspective. Balance sheet is exceptionally sound — liabilities at 0.02x equity, with a net cash position equivalent to 0.02x equity.

Over the last 12 months, working capital absorbed 14.4bn of cash, mainly because of higher receivables and higher inventories. Part of that drag was offset by higher payables.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables increased → lower CFO: −8.3bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −6.6bn
Payables increased → higher CFO: +0.5bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Working capital is being managed more efficiently, supporting overall capital efficiency. Cash conversion cycle improved by 3.3 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO fell 1.3 days, DSO fell 3.2 days, and DPO fell 1.2 days.

Improvement comes mainly from faster receivables collection — reflects the quality of receivables management.

Receivables 33.7 days −3.2 days
Inventory 37.3 days −1.3 days
Payables 1.9 days −1.2 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 69.0 days −3.3 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — the company has net cash and CFO reached 72.0bn.

Leverage & Liquidity

Track net leverage, interest coverage, and the liquidity buffer on the balance sheet.

Debt maturity and the cash buffer remain the two key areas to monitor.

Some leverage signals are missing, so the current read should be treated as contextual.

Investment Takeaway

The business is entering a broader improvement phase — not just stronger earnings but better operating quality as well. Margin, ROIC, and cash flow all improving shows the business is growing in a cleaner and more efficient way than before. Notably, the improvement trend has been confirmed across multiple cycles, from margin to capital efficiency and cash generation. Even so, the earnings mix remains the area to verify in upcoming periods, when non-core contribution is 16.0%.

Improvement: operating efficiency is getting better, with trailing-12M net margin at 13.07% after expanding 5.4pp versus the same period last year.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.40x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 16.0% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.
